General card interpretation

The Ace of Swords talks about new energy in the form of a fresh look or idea. Your thoughts lead you to the realization of a topic that interests you or help you open your eyes. The card shows that you have come to a way of overcoming difficulties that have long troubled you. Now, you are ready to receive new knowledge and inspiration.

Perhaps you are already at the initial stage of your journey, and this Ace gives you the motivation for success. Remember that no path can do without difficulties, and yours is no exception. Keep mental calm. Your future assignments may require speaking and communication skills. Attend special courses to understand the basics of public speeches better and learn how to persuade people.

All Swords cards mean power. However, it is worth remembering that power, like a sword, can help and hurt too. The card is recommended to send energy in a positive direction instead of selfish actions. With power comes responsibility. Use both heart and mind to control the situation and get only the benefits. The Ace of Swords also symbolizes the struggle for justice. You may find yourself protecting the rights of others. You are ready to fight and have serious arguments to defend your views.

Reversed

Reversed position means that you have your own unique perspective on things but don’t share it yet. You have not fully understood your thoughts, motives and do not have a plan of action. Perhaps you are not sure at all that this idea is worthy of your attention and energy as it can be another failure. It really may not bring a positive result. Give yourself time to think about all the options for implementation, the chances of success and the need to “give birth” to your idea at the beginning. The best way to think is in a relaxed atmosphere or during meditations.

The card in a reversed position brings negative news that your plans and goals may not materialize or you may not receive desired results. A possible reason for this is uncleanness of your mind. You ignore relevant information and concentrate on unnecessary facts that prevent you from making a rational decision. You overdo it with the search for justice and do not notice the reality.

Alternatively, you have a lot of ideas in your head and don’t know what to choose. Your uncertainty keeps you inactive. The Ace of Swords reversed recommends spending time and making a plan of your life with clearly defined goals. Be based on the most necessary needs. Approve those ideas and thoughts that are suitable for achieving the desired and reject those that only waste your time.
